Investigation of the physico-chemical properties and flotation ability of the developed experimental batches of composite chemical flotation reagentsfoamers KHF-VS-B

Abstract

Flotation enrichment is one of the key stages in the processing technology of non-ferrous and precious metal
ores. The efficiency of this process is determined by the physicochemical interactions occurring in the liquid
phase and on the surface of the minerals. In the aqueous medium, where the separation of mineral particles
takes place, a gaseous phase—air bubbles—exists alongside the solid phase, playing a crucial role in the
flotation process. In this context, to identify the flotation capacity of the developed flotation reagentsfoaming
agents, it is necessary to study their physicochemical properties, which make it possible to
determine their flotation performance. Accordingly, the aim of this work is to investigate the
physicochemical properties and flotation capacity of the experimental batches of the composite chemical
flotation reagents-foaming agents КХФ-ВС-Б.
